Born to a courtesan mother in the City of Splendors, Telania never knew who her father was, though as a result of this she became fast friends with the jesters and fools of her mother's clients. From these humble beginnings she began to learn a world of entertainment, magic and artistry that seemed to agree with her lifestyle as a free spirit. Many were the times Telania would be found in the library studying what she could on magic, past artistic masters and musicians or simply recording the world around her in her detailed charcoal drawings. In her spare time Telania was often found wandering graveyards for reasons she would never share with others beyond simply stating that she was reading the headstones. As Telania grew from child into young adult, her mother began to grow jealous in the attentions her young daughter seemed to garner from her wealthy clients. Young Telania had grown from a cute, outgoing child into a beautiful, voluptuous young woman, and her mother knew that her clients would some day soon begin to inquire as to her now attractive daughter's future trade. Realizing that her daughter might actually replace her in the desires of her clients she sent Telania out into the world to 'find herself', claiming that she did not wish to see her daughter fall into the life of a high-class whore that she herself had. As Telania wandered the realms she began to hear more and more of the forest kingdom of Cormyr until finally she decided to see this place for herself.
